Splurge: to spend money for fun

The day before yesterday I splurged on some new digital scrapbooking supplies from Scrap Girls because I was inspired to make a blog header for a friend of mine. Thankfully she loved the surprise. I like crafting and doing random fun stuff for friends, and finally I can do that again. I don't do that enough. You see I live nearly 4,000 miles (on average) from most of my friends. I have friends here, in Cambridge but not nearly as many as I made in the 22 years I lived in the USA (reasonable considering I've only spent 7 years here). I have been making a calendar for a friend here. I do it month by month and she's loving it. I design the pages on the computer, print them and give them to her. She enjoys them and I delight in making a friend happy. Few things are better in my opinion.

So now that I know how to make a blog header - and more importantly how to add a blog header to a blogger page - look out for some redecorating around here.

Hi again Theresa - I look forward to seeing your new personalised blog header! That's one good reason why blogging's good - we learn new things. I've learned tons of stuff by doing this and it's all good! Also, I think we all have doubts about it: are my thoughts interesting enough, will anyone read it, am I time-wasting when I 'should' be doing something useful, etc, etc. The answer is, if you're enjoying it and it's feeding your creativity, do it! There's a wonderful world of support and friendship here too. Keep going!

As the friend on the receiving end of your kindness, I must say again how much I LOVE the new banner! Can't thank you enough!
